The LING TO tho Gulf,

The News special from Fort Worth yes.
terdsy announcing the action of the
stockholders of the Fort Worth and Den
yer City Railway Company in ratifying
the consolidation with the Denver, Texas
and Gulf completes finally the oTgsniZa-
ton of the Denver, Texas and Fort
Worth Company, and insures q great
through line from Denver to the Gulf,
under one company and one management.
While this action was a foregone Conclu-
sion its cOnsummation is at least matter
of satisfaction.
II is also satisfactory to know that the
line will run through country well wa
tered and susceptible of settlement and
cultivation. General Dodge's opinion, as
that of western man of practical knowl-
edge and observation, will be accepted
with pleasure, and the more so since it
insures 8 paying local business for the
line, which, with its assured through
traffic, will render it one of the most
profitable roads in the country. How
great this through traffic will be and how
large a portion of Denver business il
will be able to control is demonstrated in
the fact that the company Is finding it
much cheaper to construct their line from
Fort Worth west than from Trinidad
east-the additional expense being in the
additional transportation charges of ma
teriaI. In other words, supplies can be
laid down at Trinidad over the line from
Fort Worth cheaper than over the exist
ing lines from the Missouri river, and if
at Trinidad then also at Denver, and any
point in Colorado or the Rocky Mountain
section.
The energy which is being displayed by
the company in forwarding the work of
construction will also receive public com
mendation. Before the snow of next
winter flies trains from Denver will be
running across the Ration far toward to
Panhandle of the Lone Star State, and
before one year from this writing O
through line of steel rails will connect
Denver with Galveston, New Orleans and
the cities and ports of the Gulf. Upon
these facts, and their bearing upon Den
ver's commercial future, the News con-
graduates its readers as well as the men
whose energy, brains and foresight have
placed the enterprise upon so sure
basis and given it its present prospects
of SO successful q termlnation.-rD Denver

THE FRISCO TO WACO

THE ENCOURAGING WORDS RECEIVED BY
MR.. j. q. FINKS FROM MR.. sEIIGNIAN.
We published this morning letter
which was received Yesterday By M.
Finks from New York in answer to q let
/ ter addressed 0y Mr.. Finks 10 Mr.. The
OdOre Seligman, in which the first named
gentleman pr posed, on behalf Of the
citizens OF Waco, TO grant theB free
right Of way through McLennan Coun ty
and terminal facilitiea at Waco, free of
ali cost, provided they go to work and
extend their Frisco line, which now has It's
terminus at Paris, Texas. The letter
speaks for itself and IS indeed, encOUr-
aging. Should this enterprise be per
fected the distance from Waco to ST.
Louis would be shortened by over $50
miles, and when we consider those who
will have control Of this road comprise
one OF the Weslthiest and most sub
stantla! corporations in the land, why
should we not feel, to some degree at
least, hopeful of successful termination
of our combined efforts in behalf OF our
city.
NEW YoRK June p, 1857.
j. II. Finks, Esq Waco, Tex:
DEAR SIR; ! am IN receipt of your favor of
the 10th instant. regarding The extension of the

advocate the building to your town, for during
my brief stop there L was greatly Impressed
with ITS beauty and solidity, S well as with the
general appearance of richness and fertility
of the surrounding country. Perhaps in some

CHAPLIN, HOOP COUNTY, Ten, June

To the southwest looms uW Granbury,
Thorp Springs, and the celebrated Co

peaks, surrounded by rich Brazos valleys,
filled with splendid farms, and prosper
Gus, happy people. To the northwest the
view is sublime, the vision taking in the
whole broad and expanding valley Of the
BraZOs snd tributaries far up in PalO
Pinto county, and the smoke from the
Texas snd Pacific engines when it crosses
the Brazos in Pslo Pinto county can be
seen curling up to the heavens. Our town
is located on high divide between the
heads OF Fall and Fuckers creeks, al an
elevation Of more than 100 feet, far
above the mslarisl or mosquito line,

LABOR'S NEW LEAGUE.

An Organization of Workingmen Similar
to the Knights.
BOsToN, Mass, Aug. 10.-A new secret
organization of labor, known as "Tbe
Brotherhood" and in many respects
similar to the Knights of Labor, has
been formed and has already grown to
considerable proportions. The Brother
hood has been in existence now over a
year. 1t was formed in May
1886, and has gradually extend
ed until it has established
local councils in many of the cities and
states. It's organization is kept pro-
found secret and, when spoken of, is
never alluded to by its name. As con-
sequence, it is impossible to say who
are its officers, where its headquarters
are, or whether it has extended to
the west or south. The principles OF
this new secret organization are
contained in a printed circular. This
circular begins with the announcement
that the organization does not believe in
strikes, but uses the ballot and cooper
alive institutions as weapons of warfare.
Then follows the novel and striking de-
mand for the abolition of all laws that
tend to create an arlstOcracy OF office
holders, and the demand for the passage
of laws compelling corporations to adopt
such measures as will protect the lives
and health of their employees. It
would also provide for. the enact
ment of laws compelling employers
and employees to arbitrate all differences
and to enforce the decision of the arbi-
traitors. The last plank in the platform
provides that the government shall OBJ
tain possession by purchase under right
of eminent domain ofall telegraphs, tel
ephones and railroads, and hereafter the
government shall issue no charter or
license to any corporation for the con-
freight
